Finally RIP Heathkit
It was a long time finally dying after the last Heathkit amateur radio product was made by this once fine company, but I read today on the Southgate Amateur Radio News page that what was left of the company has now filed for bankruptcy. Latterly it had been involved in educational systems but funding was drying up.
Founded in 1926, Heathkit was famous for its kits in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. They were the Elecraft of their day with sound designs and clear step-by-step building instructions. My first introduction into electronics and radio was with a kit for Christmas 1961. I never looked back thanks to that wonderful product.
